    Do you think it might be just more than a little bit of racist behavior, that it always seems to go through indigenous peoples land? Or at least what’s left .. after the white man came..
    Indigenous people don’t need the economy so they will be churned by it… I guess..
    Ever think that maybe that economy isn’t serving you either?

    4:05 this is not a “comedy show” since it discusses politics. It’s a political show masqueraded as a comedy show make clear political statements.

    Poor people are more exposed to pollution and climate change risks.
    Poor people are more often non white because of structural racism.

    The problem is and will be structural racism. It is the root of the rest of the problems.

    Wanna talk about environmental racism? Let’s talk about Western Companies destroying Romania’s forests. But hey I know nobody cares right? Austrian lumber conglomerates are literally killing rangers that try to speak against it and nobody makig videos on it or even talking about it cause the world revolves around the usa only.

    don’t agree with the classification of ‘racism’. everything wants to be racism these days. its like the ‘auto-win’ button, and its getting tired. This is classism, and economic warfare. The poor live in the cheaper areas which are cheaper because they are next to industrial plants. in addition poor communities have fewer leaders defending their communities, and dumpers can get away with dumping far easier. This is all about wealth. period. That stat about comparing wealthy black people who are ALSO experiencing pollution, it’s not because they are black, its because they likely choose to live in solidarity with poorer communities.
